Have absolutely no idea how it happened that I lost my newest Victorinox knife this past week.
That just doesn't happen here!
And I've kept my knives for a very long time. I still have the Kamp King I got as a gift for my tenth birthday. It doesn't have any handles on it now; guess that can be likened to losing one's hair.
This KK blade is 60 years old.
OK, this is another long-term EDC blade. Here is the story of my two SAK Climbers. The knife on the left is "Old Red," my first SAK Climber. My daughter gifted this knife to me +34 years ago. It has been an almost constant right-front-pocket companion for hundreds of miles we've traveled together (including three trips overseas) and has completed numerous tasks over the years. Still here. I tend to hold on to knives for a long time.
The knife on the right is my 1-year-old Victorinox SAK Climber. I got it in March 2017. It carries all the tools Old Red has. But I bought it to acquire one new tool on this knife that Old Red didn't have, the multi-purpose hook (parcel carrier). That's the only tool I have opened in the photo. It's a great tool, and I use it often.
Nuts & Oops. This black Climber with hook has disappeared, and I have no idea where/when that happened. So Old Red is back in pocket. I"ll probably need to visit the web Knife Center shop and "hook" on to another Climber that carries the parcel carrier tool.
Gosh, I'll have to change my tune and now say "I lost a knife." Appears there really is a first time for everything!
Have a pleasant weekend.

Lots of tongue-in-cheek in my post. It's definitely not a huge loss, Cofisher; rather, more of a surprise to me that it happened. Maybe the black Climber will "come out of hiding" someday. I've already mostly quit looking for it and now only wonder...
